Several weeks went by and Victoria, the girl I made eye contact with at Central Park, and I became really great friends. We started hanging out at this at the Hudson Yards near the Jacob Javits center. I encourage anyone to go if they have some spare time. The view of the river is amazing.
Now we were not really dating. We definitely had a lot of fun but we did not really feel like we needed to date or anything. We just enjoyed each other’s company. When the weather was not that great we would stay in and play board games or watch whatever was on Netflix. Soon after, we met a couple who lived near my apartment. Brian and Amy were a great couple. They started dating freshmen year of college and have been with each other for over 5 years. Within a matter of days, we were all hanging out at this bar across the street from my apartment.
Now our gang was unique. Victoria was a graduate student at NYU studying to be a broadcast journalist. Brian was a successful 4x New York Times Best Selling Author. Amy was an amazing Baker; she owned a bakery just a couple of blocks away. And I was an executive member of the First Grand Bank in New York.
